Which are the first three amino acids encoded by the wild-type sequence of gene B?

In frogs, green skin is determined by gene B. The wild-type sequence of the 5? end of the RNA-like strand of the entire first exon is shown below. The gene encodes an enzyme that functions to convert a brown compound into a green pigment in the skin.
